Genc Salihu knows the songs of Elita 5 well, but not for the reason you think. According to him, when he does not like someone, in this case a singer or a group, he knows the songs to the same extent as if he likes them. In an interview for "ABC e Pasdites", the musician said:
"I do not like Elita 5. I am declaring publicly, they are not good and they have a lot of stolen songs. However when you do not like someone, you know the music to the same extent as if you like someone. For example I do not like Santana. But look, these are my personal tastes. ”
He added that he said this to the members of Elite 5. "Yes, I told the Virus [the composer of Elite 5] that I do not like it."
"I have a lot of friends Valon Gashi [guitarist of Elita 5] who is one of the members of Elita 5. I do not like, brother, I do not like. What can I say."

As he later pointed out, tastes are personal and should not be judged. However, Salihu also mentioned the fact that the group from Tetovo has stolen songs and here we are not dealing with personal taste, but accusation or fact (if it is true).
On the Internet, through forums, it is rumored that the music of the song "I hate the rain" is taken by a Romanian group. "A friend gave me the CD of a Romanian band and to make sure I saw the year of production and it belonged to somewhere in '95 -'96, long before this song was published in Albania. "Without reducing the values ??of the Elita 5 group at all, we are sorry, but we have to admit, it was identical," he wrote in a 2003 forum.
In another forum, in a 2004 post, it was reported that guests on a show in northern Macedonia, Nexhat Mujovi (Virus) and Arif Zymberi, denied allegations of song theft.
